Christopher Walken, Chris Sarandon, Ava Gardner

Director
Michael Winner

Year
1977

Genre
Thriller

Synopsis
Action man Michael Winner (Death Wish) directs this star-studded satanic thriller starring Christopher Walken, where a fashion model moves into an old apartment building only to discover that her frightening neighbours are nothing compared to the blind priest on the top floor who is guarding something ghastly.

Support cast includes Ava Gardner, Chris Sarandon, Eli Wallach, Martin Balsam and Cristina Raines (remember when you cried your way through Sunshine in 1973).

TRIVIA:
There was a bit of controversy surrounding this film upon its release when it was leaked that director Michael Winner used real human oddities for the Dead rising up from hell scene at the film's conclusion; Universal had hoped to sign on Don Siegel as director, but Siegel ultimately bowed out due to his discomfort with this particular movie genre.
